Future Pastoral Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI JKJK LMLM| Dearest today I found | A |
| A lonely spot such as we two have loved | B |
| Where two might lie upon Favonian ground | A |
| Peering to faint horizons far removed | C |
| - | |
| A green and gentle fell | D |
| That steepens to a rugged canyon's rim | E |
| Where voices of vague waters fall and swell | D |
| And pines far down in sky blue dimness swim | E |
| - | |
| Toward the sunset lands | F |
| A leafless tree from tender slopes of spring | G |
| Holds out its empty boughs like empty hands | F |
| That vainly seek some distance hidden thing | G |
| - | |
| Strange that my wandering feet | H |
| In all the years had never known this place | I |
| Where beauty with a glamor wild and sweet | H |
| Awaits the final witchcraft of your face | I |
| - | |
| Upon this secret hill | J |
| I gave my dark bereavement to the sun | K |
| My sorrow to the flowing air until | J |
| Your tresses and the grass were somehow one | K |
| - | |
| And in my prescient dream I seemed to find | L |
| An unborn joy a future memory | M |
| Of you and love and sunlight and the wind | L |
| On the same grass beneath the selfsame tree | M |
